Our buildings are all private donations so far. We are now in the process
of developing plans for a new Visitor Center ( kitchen, library &
meeting/exhibit hall ). We inherited a goodly sum from a retired teacher,
so have "seed money". Our local vocational school architectural design
class did 2 plans for us. There is a historic home we want, also, but must
purchase it. So, we'll see- moving it alone costs $35,000! We charge
admission now - didn't when we were small - we do get a county alottment.
Also, our membership monies go towards the budget. We have a small gift
shop and a saloon with soda and ice cream, etc., so it all counts up.
